A N O T H E R . R O U N D (2020)
A simple, small, petite film by Thomas Vinterberg is a must watch film!
Especially for anyone with a mind and thoughts.
Its a film about humans and their sadness and how it can or cannot affect their lives. Essentially a film about a bunch of men experimenting with themselves as a group with continuous inebriation to see how it can perhaps bring some joy or improvement in their lives.
The results of this intake of alcohol at regular levels are different for each of them. The 2nd half of the film is pretty much about that. And it is done BEAUTIFULLY!
You can see and feel how the characters feel after they have all been introduced in the beginning of the film.
The magic of the film is not about some beautiful, technicality or something but it is the simplicity with which it is shot and how the narrative is progressed. The emphasis is all on the characters and their quiet, beautiful Danish environments. There are few really good and joyful sequences in this otherwise slow burner of a film but it is the climax that you leave with in the end.
The central character played Mads Mikkelsen is left 'open-minded-ended' in the end and it leads you to believe a variety of emotions on his behalf.
My rating: 9/10 ********* A must watch film!!!!
